While I'm not a Latin speaker, I do have a rather good Latin
Dictionary here ...
Merry Christmas! = festum natalem Christi!
A reverse lookup of these words seems to indicate that this simply
refers to the 'Celebration of Christ's birth' but as I mentioned,
I don't speak the language. Could it be "Celebrate Christ's birth"?
I wish you a happy new year = in annum laeta opto tibi.
Happy Hanukkah = ?
There was no entry for Hanukkah...
